I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

I won't even think about acting in a role where I didn't do a back story for a character.

If a Million People See My Movie, I Hope They See a Million Different Movies.

One thing I don't understand is that average American movie-goers cannot watch a movie for three hours, yet they'll watch a stupid, boring, horrific football game for four hours. Now, that is boredom at its most colossal.

Emotion will always win over coolness and cleverness. It's when a scene works emotionally and it's cool and clever, then it's great. That's what you want.

Sure, and that's the cool thing about DVD: you can pack stuff on the disc that would've been too much for the big screen because actually it would've only interested yourself and a bunch of fanboys, who wanna know everything.

Movies are not about the weekend that they're released, and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

You should be semi-embarrasse d about certain people seeing your movie.

... Revenge, ... All of a sudden, revenge started brewing in the back of their minds.

I don't believe in putting in music as a band aid to get you over some rough parts or bad film making. If it's there it's got to add to it or take it to another level.
Quentin Tarantino

If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it's because I put the character first.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
I laugh all the time. I'm an easy laugher. You can find me on any set, because I'm always laughing.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say: O.K., you're not that good. You just reached the level here. I don't ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

I see characters lying all the time in a lot of Hollywood movies. They can't do this because it would affect the movie this way or that or this demographic might not like it. To me a character can't do anything good or bad, they can only do something that's true or not.

Violence in real life is terrible violence in movies can be cool. It's just another colour to work with.
Quentin Tarantino
Image
I surprised myself, that I was in the tissue of the character enough, that I could actually come up with something that I didn't actually feel or didn't believe.

Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
